The hotel is very simple, you will not find any frills there and the furniture in the rooms is old. But, cozy and clean, iridescent hosts, large rooms, a great pool and the bonus of monkeys running on the roofs at night. And each room has a table and chairs where you can have great gatherings in the evenings.
A good hotel, of course not a suite, but quite decent, the rooms are spacious, there is everything except a TV.The hotel staff are nice and helpful, as well as all the locals. It's not the first coastal one, but it's a 5-minute walk to the beach. There are many beautiful fish swimming near the shore.There is a nice bar on the beach, called Hikka young beer garden, where you can have a great day. Not high prices (hot 1600-2000 rupees)keep in mind that the portions are very large, fresh fruit made from natural products (600 rupees)You can bring alcohol with you. There is also a fish market next to the hotel, where you will immediately get the goods you bought.By the way, we took the goods prepared here to the beach at the aforementioned beach bar, we were even given dishes for this.😁Tip, if you buy large shrimps there, you may be deceived and mixed with large ones will put small ones that are cheaper, so it's better to put them yourself. And also, if a guy comes up to you on the beach and offers an excursion to the city of Galle on tuktuk, agree, the trip will be intense, it's better than by bus, he can stop anywhere you want for a photo. And it costs only $5 per person.
Recommendations:
Take a fumigator and mosquito spray, it may come in handy. You may need an adapter.
Currency exchange in the direction of turtle beach, the best was 29600, and everywhere 29000 for 100 dollars. Jewelers and souvenir shops are changing, they have it written in Russian.
Go to turtle beach, about 15 minutes to the left, you can't walk along the beach, you have to go on the way. They sell algae there for 300-500 rupees, which the turtles love, the turtles spend almost the whole day, but they come more at lunch. Feeding the turtles is unforgettable.
There are monkeys and parrots behind the hotel.
There is a colony of flying foxes and large monitor lizards on the neighboring klitsa, go and see, the locals live there, it's also interesting to see. Take candy to the children.
Go to Halle without a tour, by train, 2nd class, find out tickets and timetable at the ticket office, there is a station nearby, 10 minutes. Trains run regularly, they consult in Russian at the ticket office, 100 rupees, everything is clear.
The train travels fast, 20-30 minutes. There is a large fort on Galle, a beautiful old town built in the colonial style, there are many souvenirs and restaurants, in general, a free full-day tour.
We ate a lot of places, but after we ate at Red Lobster, in the direction of turtle beach, I don't want to go anywhere else, it's inexpensive and very tasty. Good service, large portions.
Sun beds on the beach are free, just order a drink at this cafe.
There is a fruit market nearby, pineapples can be cut, prices are normal.
And the fish market, they can also cook there, it turns out to be unusual and profitable. One fish of about 1,500 rupees comes out with cooking already. You can eat there or take it with you.
The hotel is well located, close to shops, cafes, market, beach. There's a lagoon here, and the waves are smaller.
The rooms are different, we are tired, there is a conder, a fan, a kettle, no TV.
The mixer is shaking, sometimes a cockroach will come in from the street.
But on the other hand, there are wonderful people, breakfasts and a clean pool.
The hotel is nice, helpful staff, the rooms are clean, some of them smell damp, and we had no problems changing them. Good breakfasts, clean pool. There are tables in each room, you can have a good time outside, play cards, have dinner, etc. We've already seen parrots, flying foxes, and monitor lizards behind the hotel.
We liked everything very much, there is a cafe, it works without problems, the staff is very polite, they will always help and prompt, the rooms are average, but very cozy, there is a clean pool on site, you can rent a bike, there are also very tasty breakfasts and coffee, I advise you, you can't think of a better budget holiday. 5 minutes to the beach :)
We stayed at this hotel for the new year 2025. If you are not bothered by old furniture and plumbing, mold and lack of hot water (more precisely in the evening), then you can live in this hotel. The territory is green, cleaned, there is a swimming pool. You can buy breakfast (1000 rupees is about 300 rubles). But the ocean and nature overshadow all the nuances of everyday life. But they wouldn't come to this hotel a second time.
We were in November 2023. Very convenient location. There is a fish market nearby where you can buy seafood and cook it there. The market is the only one in Hikkaduwa, everyone came, and we had to walk a little bit. And there is also one beach where you can swim. There are waves or corals on the rest of the beach line. The hotel itself is very clean. We took a tour without breakfast, but in the kitchen you can come up with your own products, ask for boiled eggs or fried. At the reception you can take a kettle, an adapter for an outlet. Cleaning and change of towels on request. The staff tries to make the guests feel comfortable, very friendly. I liked everything!
A chic hotel both in location and in fact. Chic is not Dubai's 5 stars. This is a room without a TV, without a phone, but with air conditioning, a kettle and absolutely all solid wood furniture, and doors and windows too. Silence, calmness interrupt everything. We had 2 geckos in our room, which ran up mosquitoes and ants. The sea is about 500 meters away. There are 2 good home cafes along the way: White Lotus and dine fine. The pool is cleaned constantly and very carefully. Room cleaning on request. Breakfasts can be bought right on the spot, the cost for February 2024 is 1000 rupees: an omelet, several boutiques, 2 freshly squeezed juices, fruits and coffee from a teapot as much as you want. The staff can be applied instead of medicine, everyone smiles and tries to help. It's a pity you can only put 5 stars. I would like more. You start from the fact that Sri Lanka is a big camp. There is basically no concept of luxury here. There is a fact of unity with gorgeous nature and tranquility.
Quite a normal hotel, linen and towels are clean, the room is also quite clean! Yes, the walls should be painted.... The plumbing was working. The staff is friendly! The breakfast is plentiful, but delicious! Juice, fruit, omelette, toast! The beach is 3-4 minutes away.
Such honest Asian 2 stars. The location is slightly away from the noisy central streets, 8 minutes to the beach. The rooms are simple, but there is everything you need. The breakfasts are monotonous, you can choose only the main course (fried eggs or omelette), the rest is always the same: a couple of sausages, toast, butter, jam, fruit, juice and coffee. Nice, clean pool with children's area. Flying foxes can be seen near the hotel in the evenings. The guests are usually from the CIS, but there are also foreigners. The staff is friendly, but does everything only after request. Cleaning and linen change is not on schedule, but on request.
I am currently vacationing at this hotel. It is necessary to walk to the beach, but not far. The breakfasts are delicious, the fruits are fresh, they were brought with us. The rooms for Sri Lanka are very, very decent. I recommend 100%.
Good hotel, convenient location, smiling staff. I recommend it for unpretentious tourists who appreciate the clean and warm sea, fresh seafood, and the warm sun of Sri Lanka.

We stayed in December 2024. The room was quite good, on the 2nd floor. The furniture is old, but the bed is comfortable. Cleaning, change of bed linen on request. Refrigerator, air conditioning, fan in the room. There is a swimming pool on site, everything is clean. We didn't take breakfast because we left earlier. You can ask the hotel staff to prepare the groceries you bought for an additional fee. They definitely wrote out a check)). The location is good. Quiet location, fish market nearby, 7 minutes to the sea at a leisurely pace.
We stayed at this hotel in February last year.In principle, I liked the pool, the room is normal for Sri, silence, tranquility. They paid 10 dollars extra for the air conditioner

The main advantage is that the staff is always ready to help and respond to any request, but due to the budget of the hotel there are some nuances. I'll try to describe everything
1. When checking in, there was not clean bed linen and only one sheet for two. We asked for a change and everything was changed for us.
2. Towels do not absorb moisture well, it is better to take them with you from home
3. Convenient location. Near Hikkaduwa beach, fruit and fish market (you can buy seafood and ask them to cook), 5 minutes from PCB Cafe (for me the most delicious food in Hikkaduwa)
4. A comfortable veranda at each room with a table and chairs. It is better to eat fruits on it so that the ants do not end up in your room
5. The pool is clean , but the sun beds are no longer in very good condition
6. Bad wi-fi Internet, it will work for the phone, but the computer does not load at all
7. To clean the room, they need to bring the room keys
8. The air conditioning is very weak, but there is also a ceiling fan. They turned them on at the same time to cool the room somehow
9. Only one bottle of water at check-in, then you can buy it at a discount
10. We had bad mirrors, moreover, located in poorly lit places. If you need it, it is also better to take it with you
11. The sockets are different from ours and unfortunately our adapter did not fit either. But it turned out to defeat the razette with a pencil (instructions can be found on the Internet)
12. No hygiene products (shampoo,soap, shower gel)

Well, what can I say)))
The first impression when approaching the building is oh, my God, it's terrible😳
Then the reception and check-in to the room. The room is on the 2nd floor, it's a little dark, of course, But there is a refrigerator, air conditioning! And that's great! Upon request, a kettle was brought, you can also ask for the necessary dishes without any problems. If it rains, it dripped on our heads, but nothing... it's a warm tropical rain.
In general, if you go without much expectation, then you get used to it and everything is as native)
The pool is clean, breakfasts are like everywhere else in Asia scrambled eggs / omelet, coffee, dough bread, butter, jam and portioned fruits. You will not stay hungry!
Huge handsome monitor lizards walk next to the hotel, a family of huge monkeys lives on a tree next to the hotel, parrots fly - like in the jungle, it's very beautiful!
In general, if you treat everything with humor, then it's good))) Permonal is good-natured sooo, ready to get a star from the sky) linen is changed on request too
Have a good rest!!!
Great hotel, wonderful hosts! Cleaning - once every three days, change of linen and towels as well, the pool is always clean, constantly treated.
Convenient location, close to the ocean, shops, cafes, alcohol market.
I recommend it to everyone!!!
Great hotel! If you are sane, if you are without glamour, then it will suit you. And also suitable for those who like Abkhazia)))
100% of the Guests are our compatriots, some of them drink and scream all night, which is a bit of a hindrance.
Polite and smiling staff, always trying to help.
Good location, go to the right, go to the fish and vegetable market, go to the left, go to the beach. You need to take an air-conditioned room and check it on check-in so that it works. The pool is clean.
The hotel was shaken up. The air conditioner worked once after the repair, worked for three days and again did not cool, the water pressure is bad. We need to make repairs. The pool is great, the breakfasts are good. For a budget stay on the island.
A cozy, quiet hotel with a family atmosphere. It is located in a quiet location, away from a busy highway. The ocean is a 7-minute walk away. Among the disadvantages is on-demand cleaning, there are no separate balconies, only a terrace shared by several rooms with a table and chairs for each room.
They lived in the building shown in the photo. The photos on the brochures and the website are retouched. the water in the pool is always dirty. the renovation is very old, the furniture in the rooms is falling apart. not all rooms have air conditioning. to the beach or min. 20. Not bad breakfasts and friendly staff, ready to help at any time.
